Metals Buyer – Manufacturing

Our client is a long-established, stable precision manufacturer in the Menomonee Falls area experiencing significant growth. As the business expands, they are adding purchasing capability to support a busy contract machining operation.

This is a hands-on manufacturing purchasing role with a strong emphasis on raw metals and materials used to produce precision machined components. If you understand buying metal bar stock and working with suppliers in a manufacturing environment, we'd like to know you.

The work may include:

• Purchase metal bar stock, raw materials and components used in machining operations
• Select suppliers based on price, quality, availability and performance
• Monitor material pricing and costs
• Manage purchase orders and supplier commitments
• Coordinate inbound freight and transportation
• Monitor supplier deliveries and address potential shortages or delays
• Resolve material quality, return and supplier issues
• Work closely with quality, production and other internal teams
• Maintain accurate purchasing information within an ERP system
• Support other purchasing, materials and production needs as the business grows

Experience purchasing metals, bar stock, raw materials, machined components, forgings, stampings or other materials used in metalworking/manufacturing would be particularly relevant.

Our client offers the stability of an established manufacturer combined with the opportunity created by substantial growth. This could be especially attractive to a buyer who enjoys being close to manufacturing, working directly with suppliers and seeing the impact of good purchasing decisions.

Interested? Tell us a little about what you've purchased and the manufacturing environments you've supported. We'd be glad to compare notes.
